The majority of martial arts books/self defense
books place much of their emphasis on technique, form,and
tepid "how to instruction".Physical skills are emphasized
at the expense of common sense and awareness. This was perhaps
the first book to point out that exercising proper discretion
and understanding why certain individuals pose threats to
our well being can be more vital in many instances than possessing
the ability to deliver lightning kicks and punches.The author,a
veteran of many street wars when younger, believes your mind
is still your best weapon and realistically exposes the myths
behind traditional martial arts training which sadly leads
many students to believe their training is a step towards
immortality. I own this book approximately 8 years,have read
it three times, and will continue to use it as a source of
inspiration and reference. Many others of it's type have followed,
so Mr.MacYoung must have been on to something.
